Experiences of bullying in the school context

Oral Paper Presentation

Research highlights that LGBTQI+ students are more likely to experience bullying than non-LGBTQI+ students (Bergqvist et al., 2023), but research on LGBTQI+ students’ experiences remains limited in the Swedish school context (Odenbring, 2022). In our ongoing qualitative study, we contribute to this body of research by using in-depth, semi-structured interviews to explore LGBTQI+ young people’s...

Experiences of bullying in the school context

Oral Paper Presentation

While research has shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) students are at more risk of being bullied than their heterosexual and cisgender peers (e.g., Espelage et al., 2019), relatively little is known about the lived experiences of these young people at school. Drawing on the theoretical concepts of misrecognition (e.g., Fraser, 2001), stigma (e.g., Goffman, 1963)...

Within bullying research, context sensitivity has resulted in an increasing interest in what is often called “bias-based bullying” to better...

Proactive strategies and prevention of bullying and cyberbullying

Oral Paper Presentation

Theory background and objective
Previous research has identified community-building didactics (Schott & Søndergaard, 2014; Plauborg, 2016; Rabøl Hansen 2014; 2023, Restad & Sandsmark 2022) as a promising approach to prevent bullying in schools. Research on how and why such strategies might work, is however lacking. In this paper we draw on data from an ongoing practice-research...
